Overview & Reviews
As a follow-up to the S80 T6 Executive, Volvo has released the T6 Elite, which combines the increased rear legroom, wider rear door openings and interior luxuries of the Executive with the convenience of a rear bench seat, thus providing room for five. Additionally, all S80s will get Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA), enhanced traction control performance and improved throttle management, resulting in quicker response in everyday driving situations. Other improvements include color-coordinated exterior trim (rather than the usual black moldings), an emergency release trunk release handle and the availability of a DVD-based navigation system and xenon headlamps. New exterior color choices are Pearl White and Black Sapphire. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of its first car, Volvo heightens comfort levels for rear-seat passengers with a special trim level. The car's wheelbase is the same, but special door hinges allow for a wider door opening in order to access a roomier rear seat. Executive leather upholstery and a sunshade are standard. A rear-seat entertainment system with dual 7-inch screens can play DVD, television or a video game. Another option is a refrigerator in the rear center armrest. The Special Edition S80 can be distinguished by the body-colored bumpers and moldings.
- Loaded with outstanding safety innovations and features, impressively fast in T6 trim, spacious backseat.

Volvo struts - 2002 Volvo S80
By Alan - October 7 - 2:00 amI have had the car for about 1 1/2 years, bought summer of 09 with approx 90k on the miles. The struts need to be replaced and the tie rods as well. For a 75th Anniversary edition it has to have the worst radio I have ever had in a vehicle, ever! Reception stinks and the speakers arent that good either. The key fob system for the doors is terrible as well with delays before the doors unlock and no horn beep when it locks. I have one other problem with the power outlets. Whenever something is plugged into them, such as my gps, it blows the fuse. Something must be wrong with the electrical system someplace but Im sure it would cost a small fortune to find the problem.

Volvo S80 T-6 Executive - 2002 Volvo S80
By Surgeon200 - March 4 - 10:00 amThe top of the line Volvo S80 T6 Executive is the pinnacle of volvo style, performance, luxary and safety. The car has more than adeqate accelation and pickup. The engine is silky smooth and matted to a smooth 4 speed Geartronic transmission, in standard automatic mode the transmission shifts smoothly, though in the manual mode there is a slight delay between upshifts and downshifts. The Rear areas border on limosine like and provide execeptional leg room (A passenger who is 6 tall is comfortable behind a tall driver.), the car overall is the best car yet that volvo has produced.

Used Car for Christmas 2013 - 2002 Volvo S80
By evaeve - December 5 - 9:45 pmI bought this car after my long recovery from a motorcycle accident... And I am completely satisfied four months and 5k miles later. Repairs: When I bought it, I replaced the water pump and timing belt. I have had this vehicle serviced one time to replace/fill all the fluids. I need to replace my upstream oxygen sensor (minor issue), which will cost around $130 for the part and is easily installed (or labor $40 for labor). Struts are squeaky in this model, but that isnt a required fix. Wish List: This car has a terrible audio system. I have a 12inch long Skullcandy speaker at home that performs much better than all 6 speakers in my vehicle... which is sad.

Perfect Car for Me - 2002 Volvo S80
By RCS - December 1 - 10:00 amI just got a new 2002 S80, the dealer gave us a great price, well below the TMV number, they said it was based on an existing Volvo owner incentive. The car is perfect for my wife and I comfortable, equipped with all the right features and no extra gadgets. It is our 4 th Volvo and the first front wheel drive one. The only complaint is that the turning radius is too large, especially compared to our old rear wheel drive Volvo.

Great Car - 2002 Volvo S80
By david - August 25 - 11:20 amI love my Volvo. This car runs like a dream and I got it at a steal of a price from the folks at Crown Volvo in Chapel Hill NC. The Edmunds value of the car I purchased was over $24000 as a certified pre-owned and they sold it to me for $19000.

dissatisfied - 2002 Volvo S80
By Jeff Bomke - July 9 - 2:00 amLoved the car until major safety problem started to occur (left front spindle backing bolt backed out and jammed into drive shaft three seperate times) Volvo refused to fix the third time. Traded for a BMW 530i two weeks later.
